Sans Normal Yibal 2 is a very bold, wide, high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Ausgen' by Andfonts, 'Swiss 721' by Bitstream, 'CG Triumvirate' by Monotype, and 'Europa Grotesk SH' by Scangraphic Digital Type Collection (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with thick strokes and compact internal counters, drawn with intentionally irregular, rough edges. Curves are full and blobby, while joins and terminals show chiseled, slightly flattened facets that create a worn, stamped look. Stroke edges appear textured rather than crisp, with subtle contour wobble that keeps repeated shapes from feeling mechanically uniform. Overall spacing feels generous, but letter widths vary noticeably, giving the line a lively, handmade rhythm.
Best suited for display settings where texture and impact are desirable: posters, bold headlines, packaging, labels, stickers, and merch graphics. The distressed edges and tight counters may reduce clarity at small sizes, so it performs strongest in large type, short phrases, and branding elements that benefit from a handcrafted tone.
The font conveys a gritty, DIY energy—part screen-print, part rubber-stamp—balancing friendliness from its rounded forms with toughness from its distressed contours. It reads as casual and bold, with an imperfect, tactile presence that suggests ink on paper rather than clean digital outlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch while avoiding a sterile, geometric feel. Its rounded base forms provide approachability, while the rough, ink-worn edge treatment adds character and a tactile, printed aesthetic for expressive display typography.
Uppercase forms are blocky and stable with simplified geometry, while lowercase maintains the same weight and softness, helping mixed-case text feel consistent. Numerals are sturdy and highly legible at display sizes, with the same roughened perimeter treatment that reinforces the analog, worn-in character.
